KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs on Tuesday waived offensive lineman Colin Kelly. Kelly, 24, originally signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon State on May 1, 2013.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs return to the practice field Tuesday for the next segment of three-day voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) with intriguing scenarios.
